One of the adavantages of having the trap above the floor, just under the sink, is that you'll need to clean it out now and then. Not sure a bidet would accumumlate the kind of gnarly gunk that a sink does. In a sink, there's always hair to act as a binder to catch all kinds of er, uh, stuff. (Number 2 rule of the plumber's union: don't chew your fingernails)

Then again, cleaning a trap under a floor is not impossible -- one of those hand powered little snakes would probably do it.

A lot of the pedestal sinks have a column of sorts that it stands on, with a channel in the back of the column. If it extends all the way to the floor, seems like you could hook up to the exisiting drain. I can understand not wanting to dig into the parquet floor.

I've always wanted a bidet myself.
